<span id="midArticle_0"></span><span class="focusParagraph"><p><span class="articleLocation">JAKARTA</span> (Reuters) - Countries around Asia on Tuesday stepped up the search for an AirAsia plane carrying 162 people that is presumed to have crashed in shallow waters off the Indonesian coast, with Washington also sending a warship to help find the missing jet.</p>
</span><span id="midArticle_1"></span><p>Soelistyo, head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, told local television the search area between the islands of Sumatra and Borneo would be expanded. Authorities would also begin scouring nearby islands as well as coastal land on Indonesia's side of Borneo. </p><span id="midArticle_2"></span><p>So far the focus of the search has been the Java Sea. </p><span id="midArticle_3"></span><p>There have been no confirmed signs of wreckage from the Airbus A320-200 operated by Indonesia AirAsia, which disappeared in poor weather on Sunday morning during a flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore. </p><span id="midArticle_4"></span><p>The missing plane, which was carrying mainly Indonesians, could be at the bottom of the sea, Soelistyo said on Monday.</p><span id="midArticle_5"></span><p>The Java Sea is relatively shallow, making it easier to spot wreckage in the water, say oceanographers, but strong currents and winds in the area mean any debris would be drifting up to 50 km (31 miles) a day east, away from the impact zone.</p><span id="midArticle_6"></span><p>"The lesson that should be learned from MH370 is that you need to move quickly," said Charitha Pattiaratchi, an oceanographer at the University of Western Australia, referring to the Malaysia Airlines flight that went missing on March 8 during a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew and which has not been found.</p><span id="midArticle_7"></span><p>Around 30 ships and 21 aircraft from Indonesia, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea would search up to 10,000 square nautical miles on Tuesday, officials said. </p><span id="midArticle_8"></span><p>Indonesian Air Force spokesman Hadi Tjahjanto said authorities would investigate an oil spill sighted on Monday, although a separate possible slick turned out to be a reef. </p><span id="midArticle_9"></span><p>Searchers had investigated several areas where possible debris had been sighted in the water but had found nothing connected to the missing plane, Tjahjanto told Reuters. </p><span id="midArticle_10"></span><p>Authorities would also investigate reports by local fishermen of an explosion on Sunday morning off an island in the area, Tjahjanto added, although dynamite fishing is common in Indonesian waters.</p><span id="midArticle_11"></span><p>The U.S. military said the USS Sampson, a guided missile destroyer, would be on the scene later on Tuesday.</p><span id="midArticle_12"></span><p>"We stand ready to assist in any way possible," Pentagon spokesman Mark Wright said.</p><span id="midArticle_13"></span><p></p><span id="midArticle_14"></span><p>COULD PLANE HAVE STALLED?</p><span id="midArticle_15"></span><p>What happened to Flight QZ8501, which had sought permission from Indonesian air traffic control to ascend to avoid clouds, is still a mystery.</p><span id="midArticle_0"></span><p>Online discussions among pilots have centred on unconfirmed secondary radar data from Malaysia that suggested the aircraft was climbing at a speed of 353 knots, about 100 knots too slow in poor weather, and that it might have stalled.</p><span id="midArticle_1"></span><p>While searchers had picked up an emergency locator signal off the south of Borneo, no subsequent signal was found, officials said.</p><span id="midArticle_2"></span><p>The plane, whose engines were made by CFM International, co-owned by General Electric and Safran of France, lacked real-time engine diagnostics or monitoring, a GE spokesman said. Such systems are mainly used on long-haul flights and can provide clues to airlines and investigators when things go wrong.</p><span id="midArticle_3"></span><p>Officials said the sea in the general search area was only 50 to 100 (150 to 300 feet) metres deep, which would be a help in finding the plane.</p><span id="midArticle_4"></span><p>"The Java Sea area where they are now searching isn't even an ocean, it's more of an inland sea," Erik van Sebille, a physical oceanographer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney told Reuters. </p><span id="midArticle_5"></span><p>    "It's so shallow that they may just be able to spot the plane," said van Sebille, noting that sunlight travels through water up to about 100 metres.</p><span id="midArticle_6"></span><p>Oceanographer Pattiaratchi said debris would normally be expected to float on the surface for around 18 days before sinking.</p><span id="midArticle_7"></span><p>Three airline disasters involving Malaysian-affiliated carriers in less than a year have dented confidence in the country's aviation industry and spooked air travellers across the region.</p><span id="midArticle_8"></span><p>In the third incident, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine on July 17, killing all 298 people on board.</p><span id="midArticle_9"></span><p></p><span id="midArticle_10"></span><p>NO FOUL PLAY SEEN</p><span id="midArticle_11"></span><p>On board Flight QZ8501 were 155 Indonesians, three South Koreans, and one person each from Singapore, Malaysia and Britain.
